As I posted earlier, there have been posts by people who have contacted Apple Support and they were told that if you delete an ID associated with an email address, you can never reuse the email address for an Apple ID.  I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again.You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.


The above also applies to the associated iCloud address(es)

If you delete the ID, it deletes the associated iCloud email address.

If you delete your AppleID then yes, you loose ALL data for every Apple account using that AppleID - iCloud data and email iMessages, and all purchased content from the App, music and book stores. Everything tied to that AppleID will be gone.


And no, you cannot re-use the primary email from a deleted AppleID. To make a new AppleID you’ll need a different email to use.
